Multi-spectral imaging technology has a wide range of applications in computer vision, color engineering, and imaging industry. Most of current spectral imaging systems are passive in that a spectrum filtration mechanism is placed at the sensor side. In contrast, this presentation presents a new active multi-spectral imaging system that controls the illumination spectrum with synchronous capture. In its applications, I will mention (1) spectral reflectance recovery, (2) tri-stimulus imager, and (3) exact color image production.
